[Giveaway] Tickets to IndieCade, the “Sundance” of Gaming Festivals

Bloop, shown left, where 2-4 people chase colored squares that get smaller and smaller, while tripping over each other’s fingers, is just one of the small, smart, fun and sometimes beautiful, games that are being produced by independent game designers for solo or group play, increasingly for use on smartphones and tablets.

The game is one of 36 finalists out of 80 or so interactive games — mostly digital, some analog — that will be shown at IndieCade (October 4-7), the Culver City-based indie gaming festival that was founded five years ago has become the go-to festival for people looking for video games that offer something different and special beyond violence and big budgets.
